Hack and squirt question

[Harold Money jr]

What herbicides will work doing this? I have locust, wild Bradford pears and mimosas I'm wanting to poison.

Be sure to add them in this order, mixing after each combination.

Think this would kill holy trees / bushes?

That combo should kill any tree

Garlon 4…the ester. 18-20% by volume with diesel as the penetrant/carrier. Basal sprayed this will torch everything you mention above.

One more thing on the chemical and mix I mentioned. While probability of translocation in the soil is very low, if the roots of any very close NON target trees are grafted with your target species it could make your keeper trees sick…or worse. Better to just cut the target trees than spray'em.

If you use Garlon 4 and diesel what is the mix? 1 part Garlon with 4 parts diesel?

Correct.

For saplings and small trees that you would cut anyway, just cut them close to the ground and paint the stump liberally with undiluted 41% generic glyphosate. I've done this successfully on privet hedge, hardwoods, and even kudzu once you find the mail trunk. No mixing, just cut and paint.

Tordon RTU is what I use because it's just easy for me.

I've all the mixes I've seen and tried for hack and squirt, I've had the best results with just using glysophate concentrate mixed 50/50 with water.

Good stuff. It's what I use.

 

[Westnvol89]

I've had good luck with Tordon RTU as well

I thought this topic was about that internet girl hawking, spittin, and squirtin again.

Same here. Some trees take longer than others and I've had to treat some bigger ones a second time. Sycamore seems to respond really quickly, river birch a little longer, and elms, gums of size quite a bit longer than that. Of course, some older elms just die spontaneously from I assume Dutch Elm disease.

Crossbow at full strength has done pretty good for me!

Related to this topic I just visited the spots I H&S about a year ago to remove sweet gum, beech and TOH. I also ran a fire thru a small portion (1.5 acres) and boy is there a drastic difference even though both spots are most mostly closed canopy.

EXCELLENT comparison pictures DPinTN. Love that kind of stuff.

Thanks Bryan. I was honestly blown away by the difference and didn't really expect much given the over story wasn't thinned. However I guess sunlight was able to get thru with just a reduction of midstory and removal of leaf litter. Already making plans to burn a few more areas ASAP.
